the tricky part is when you lose population. the correct move would be to demolish this infrastructure and scale back. trouble is, not only would this be wasteful, but it would also leave gaps in cities, since population decline doesn’t happen uniformly from a city edge. where exactly, do you demolish the infrastructure?
Nah, it’s simple. You just redraw the city limits. Tell the “winners” they’re now part of the countryside and reduce their public transport to one train per hour.
Pretty sure in some of the cities they do. Yeah, I know in most of the country they don’t believe in public transport. But crucially, the topic hadn’t gone full “USA”, at least not yet. So, still applicable.

The problem will solve itself :P
People in the US don’t use public transport, and would be incredibly happy to not have to pay more taxes.

I’d pay more taxes if I didn’t have to drive everywhere
If only there was public transport to be taken away
